MANGO PEACH GLAZE

1/2 cup fresh mango juice

1/2 cup fresh peach juice

2 tbsp AKKA vinegar

1 whole ginger

Thyme

CHIMICHURRI

1/2 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 tbsp AKKA vinegar and 2 tbsp AKKA balsamic

2 cups parsley, 1/2 cup mint, 1 tbsp dry oregano

4 cloves minced garlic

Finely chopped cherries (as needed)

PRAWNS

500g extra large prawn

Wooden skewers

Microgreens

Crushed fennel seeds

Himalayan pink salt

 

PREPARATION:

Before you begin, soak wooden skewers in water for 30min to 1hr to prevent them from burning on the grill.

 Start with the glaze...

Add the juices and roughly sliced ginger in a sauce pan on medium heat. As it simmers, add AKKA vinegar and sprinkle some thyme. Leave it to reduce till it’s 1/4 of the quantity or until it has a runny jam consistency.

For the chimichurri, combine chopped cherries and both AKKA vinegars and set aside. Meanwhile, finely chop your fresh herbs and garlic and add the oils, then pour in cherry vinegar mix and let it sit for atleast 30min. Thread your fresh prawns onto the skewers and season with salt and crushed fennel. Place on the grill and brush with your prepped mango peach glaze. Turn prawns over after 2 min. and brush the other side with more glaze and cook for another 2min. Careful not to overcook. Plate prawns with microgreens on top and drizzles of your cherry chimichurri.
